EOF errors / automatic reconnnect?

[dim]

We have EOF issues with v2 with idle connections. Our redis server is configured with timeout, when connections are idle for longer, we get an EOF error on the next request. We tried to lower/set the IdleTimeout option, but it causes a deadlock.

How to reproduce:

1. Start redis-server with --timeout 5
2. go run the code snippets below

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    redis "github.com/vmihailenco/redis/v2"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    red := redis.NewTCPClient(&redis.Options{Addr: "localhost:6379"})
    for {
        val := red.Ping()
        fmt.Println(val)
        time.Sleep(6 * time.Second)
    }
}

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    redis "github.com/vmihailenco/redis/v2"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    red := redis.NewTCPClient(&redis.Options{Addr: "localhost:6379", IdleTimeout: 3})
    for {
        val := red.Ping()
        fmt.Println(val)
        time.Sleep(6 * time.Second)
    }
}
